and thus IL went on record. Shortly
aiterward the mystic word boom"
was heard in the Southland. From
a distant, low and indistinct sound, IL
assumed the proportions of a massive
wave, and 10 a few years swept over
this entire section Of the country.
Memphis caught il amidships and
emerged thoroughly encompassod By
the influence. Capital came from all
points; workmen nocked in. When
the commercial year, beginning Sep.
TENDER lst, opened, sidewalks we're
lined with hurrying, skurrying men
OF business, streets fesounded with
the noise Of rapidly moving draws,
wagons, and all signs pointed 10
q new era Of prosperity and progress.
This was first noticeable about three
years ago. A correct estimate OF the
citS's population then was undertak-
en- by rival directory men, who
claimed 70 have polled the city thor.
oughly The difference did not
exceed 5000. People smiled and
referred 10 II as a healthiul sign OF
the times, and the sign did not fail.
Each year since IL appeared has
brought thousands Of strangers, who
settled down aud began the process
Of honestly coming money.
What is the population now2 Ask
the bill collectors. Ask the dude

10 pass a half hour In the hotel

crushed. Wait until Eve minutes

circulated with their Specification"
| a list Of charges for deficiencies"
by the aid Of which any cotton man
| in our city could figure his exact
rate. These papers, published in the
| APpEAL at the time, were issued
| thus early in the year, and placed in
the hands ofall parties interested, in
order that they might have ample
time to correct deficiencies" and
obtain q low rate Of insurance. By
this action Of the local board,
our cotton men know Just
where they stand as to their in
surance this winter. Many Of the
merchants have taken advantage Of
the time allowed them by the under
writer's, and greatly improved their
facilities for handling cotton during

The Bill Vetoed.

Gov. Sawyer of New Hampshire
has vetoed the Hazen bill. The
governor SAYS, although there is no
proof that any legislator has been
bribed, the evidence justifies the be-
lief that deliberate and systematic
attempts have been made at whole
sale bribery by both sides. No law
should 90 on the statute books bearing
even the suspicion of enactment
through bribery. The best way to
check such methods is to make it
certain that no bill, to pass which
attempts at bribery are made, can
become a law. SIN such degree as
these corrupt practices are allowed
to pass unnoticed, the moral sense
of not only the Legislators but the
people become dulled to their enor-
nifty, and in the end the government
will become a farce and an object
OF contempt. AS Gne nOIlOf OF an
individual should be above price, so
in a large sense should the honor of
the state be zealously guarded. Being
strongly impressed that the honor
and good name of the state and leg
islature is involved in countenancing
the methods practiced to secure the
passage of this measure, and that all
other considerations should be set
aside, | veto the bill" The vote in
the House on the original passage
of the bill stood l67 to $50 and in
the Senate 10 to 8. 1t is not at all
likely that the twO-thirds vote neces-
sary to pass the bill over the veto
will be obtained. The result is. Of
course, substantial victory for the
Concord road over the Boston &
Maine.
